Is There Any Way To Send A Friend Request With Discord.py?

I want to add a discord bot to a group chat, and the only way I know how is to add them as a friend first. How do I make a bot send a friend request? I'm pretty sure its possible.

Solution 1:

Bots cannot have friends

https://discordapp.com/developers/#bot-vs-user-accounts

Bot accounts have a few differences in comparison to normal user accounts, namely:

Bots are added to guilds through the OAuth2 API, and cannot accept normal invites.

Bots cannot have friends, nor be added to or join Group DMs.

Bots do not have a maximum number of Guilds (unlike user accounts, which are limited to 100).

Bots have an entirely separate set of Rate Limits.
